Man Saves Life of Dog Found Injured On Highway

A dog was rescued from the middle of a highway after being found abandoned with both hind legs broken. She had been hit by a car–the driver of which did not bother to stop and check on the dog–but was thankfully spotted by a kind passerby.

Vía Fox4kc.com

The man could not overlook helping the dog, and proved to be her savior that night. Though he had been on duty working on a newspaper delivery, Anthony Braughton says he did not think twice about pulling over once he realized the animal was hurt.

Vía Fox4kc.com

The dog seemed comforted by the attention of this man. However she struggled to even stand at this point, and did not seem to want her company to leave.

Vía Fox4kc.com

After wrapping the shaking animal in his jacket, Braughton reluctantly left the dog in the rain while he finished his route for work, but was sure to return and retrieve the shaking animal.

Vía Fox4kc.com

Braughton’s thoughts stayed with the dog throughout his deliveries, and he fatefully returned to pick her up when he was finally free to. She gratefully took rest on the newspaper bed Braughton had arranged for her in his backseat.

Vía Fox4kc.com

At 5a, hours after he had first discovered the dog, Braughton delivered her to KC Pet Project to have her injuries sought after. Andy Braughton has since continued to check in on the recovery of the dog, and hopes to adopt her once she has fully recovered.

This dog was lucky enough to be saved by a kind stranger who would come to offer her a home and friendship for life.

20 Things that ONLY those who went through puberty will be able to understand

By: daniela - 1 December 2017, 13:18

Compartir en Facebook

We all have that time when our whole body is out of control and we don’t know what Is happening. Even though all of us mostly know that sometime our body will change, we always think that it is too early for that. We start changing our voice that is something that is not enjoyable at all. It gets scratchy and sometimes it also hurts a little. Tall people, they start growing so their legs hurt a little too. Here we are sharing some of the things that only teenagers who have gone through puberty will get.

Temperature

Google.

We are never cold! No matter what. It can be raining and it can also be 8 am in the morning with the coldest breeze in the world. However, our bodies will stay warm. We look at everyone else with a lot of clothes on, but don’t understand how they do it.

Acne

Google.

It doesn’t matter how careful we can be with what we eat and drink, pimples will appear. At night while we sleep or in the morning when we wake up. We don’t understand how did that happen. You think for yourself: “I brushed my teeth, cleaned my face before I went to sleep and didn’t eat fast food” what the #$%j happened???”

Smells

Google.

Without any warning, we will start smelling weird. Right after we run some blocks or even after playing football. We don’t get why we need to put deodorant on. Well, we actually know why because we are living eat. However, we cannot get how did that happen.

Voice change

Google.

One day, you’ll wake up and your voice will start sounding as a whistle. This means that your voice is changing so it will sound like that but if you wait some more days, it will also start sounding raspy too. This is all part of the same process. PUBERTY.

Period

Google.

This one is for you girls. There will come a day when your parents will give you THE famous TALK. It is actually not as weird and tragic as it sounds, however, some of us suffer a lot from ovarian pain. That is bothering.

Sadness

Google.

You feel like it is the end of the world and that everything is wrong, in those days anyone can help you being happy, anyone gets you…

Nobody needs you

Google.

You feel like nobody needs you and that you don’t need anybody either. So, you prefer staying alone most of the time.

Hairs

Google.

You start growing hair in places you would never imagined. Armpits, some places of your face an so on… it is quite uncomfortable, not to say disgusting. Well, the disgusting part is debatable. It is not accepted by society. However, some people affirm that they feel dirtier.

People and their opinion

Google.

People are always judging you and expecting you to delete all that hair but it is not that simple. You need to be careful with your judgement and with everyone else’s opinion. You can’t please everybody. Try pleasing yourself in the first place.

Hunger

Google.

Basically, you are hungry all the time. Anything you have on your house needs to be eaten. It doesn’t matter if it is sweet or salty but you need to eat it NOW. You should definitely be careful with those hunger attacks; they can hurt your belly and make you feel bad also.

Clumsiness

Google.

You can start being a little clumsier than you were. It can happen don’t mortify yourself. But be careful in the streets you can easily fall while walking or maybe just stumble with something.

Guys

In love

Even though everyone tells you that it is a matter of time until you stop liking him, you know it is true love. You definitely want to marry him, of course everything happened all in a sudden.

Avoiding your parents

Google.

You do everything it takes to avoid your parents saying: “we need to talk”. Those are the worst words in the whole world for a child. So, hey parents, if you are reading this, right it down!

Their talks

Google.

They talk about sex when we already know mostly everything they are talking about. For you to know, it is the most uncomfortable way of engaging the topic. Try something else, try making it simpler please!

Thinking about it

Google.

Now that somebody talked about it, you can’t stop thinking about it. Sex becomes one of the main issues and topic of conversation with friends.

Embarrassment

Google.

Is it normal that your parents embarrass you all the time in front of all your friends? Yes, people! It is completely normal. They try to look still young but they try it so hard that ends up being embarrassingly fake.

Your brothers

Google.

They will never get the significance of personal space. You’ll find them everywhere at any time. if you share your bedroom with them it is worst. So be patient and try understanding. Don’t freak out. Everything will be all right. I promise. At least in the end!

Acceptance

Google.

Until this process of puberty ends you need to accept that is part of the life we live in. that it is completely natural and that you need to face it in the better way you can.

Life goes on

Google.

People, the truth is that life goes on. That everyone must go through it and that you will definitely be all right. I promise, but remember, don’t panic!

Things that you were doing wrong all your life and you did not know

By: daniela - 2 December 2017, 23:14

Compartir en Facebook

There are some things that you possibly did wrong all your life! Well, not exactly wrong. Sometimes we think things have only one usage. However, they mostly have more than one. We are here to show you all the things you can do with everyday objects that you possibly did not know. We take for granted how things are made of, its construction, shape and color. The interesting part is learning why creators thought of each little part of their own inventions. Check them out!

Foil

Google.

The hole in the aluminum foil roll boxes is there so you can easily adjust the roll. Of course you didn't get why that hole existed, I asked myself the same thing every time I saw it..

Tic Tac

Google.

This is the correct way to eat your Tic Tacs. I mean, why you think the box had that strange way of closing itself. Did you think that it had the exact same size of the candy just because? Interesting...

Yoghurt

Google.

If you don't have a spoon, don't panic. You can still eat your yoghurt. You just need to be a little bit intelligent and think of the elements yo do have. After that, you'll figure out that you can actually build your own plastic spoon. Voilà.

Peanut Butter

Google.

The right way of storing your peanut butter is upside down. This is how you prevent it from separating. How many times did you find yourself trying to do this and ending up with oily and nasty hands? Here's the answer to this issue! Be careful and close it tightly every time you store it!

Ketchup

Google.

You can open your ketchup sauce cups more than you thought. They are folded in a way that is hard to figure. However, they can contain much more ketchup so you can happily share it with your friends.

Bananas

Google.

I don't know why we, humans, learn that pealing Bananas from the top is the right way. They can be opened from the bottom in a quicker and easier way. Let's think a little bit more, they are sometimes already a little bit opened in that part contrary to the other way. Monkeys are more intelligent than us, they do it the right way!

Bobby pins

Google.

We think that the wavy part of it goes on the top because in that way we can open it easily. However, let me enlighten all of you! If you use it with the wavy part facing your hair, it will have a better grip. Believe me.

Chinese

Google.

Most of the food that you order comes with a box that you can actually open and use as a plate. Knowing this, you can save the washing part and just eat it directly from there! Perfect, right?

Cans

Google.

Yes, one of the biggest problems when drinking from a can is that the straw keeps lifting out every time we put it inside. We pull it down constantly but guess what? There is a better way of solving the problem. You can place your straw exactly in that tab's little hole. It fits perfectly and believe me, it's the right way of doing it.

Cooking pot

Google.

You had the best place to place your spoon and you didn't know it. How many times you put in on the table having to stain a little part of it? Not anymore, now, you have the best spoon holder in the world!

Cables

Google.

The correct way to plug in a extension cord safely. However, you don't have to forget to use the right equipment to plug things. Never be barefoot and checking if the cable is not broken or peeled.

Toblerone

Google.

This is the right way of cutting Toblerone chocolate. Why did you think they can possibly have that triangular shape? I mean, there are some things that I think humans just think it the difficult way. Why would we cut a piece of this chocolate right from the part that is more difficult to rip?

Toothpaste

Google.

You must use a bobby pin to take advantage of all the toothpaste you have. Squeezing it with your hands is a waste of energy and a lot less effective. This is the best way of saving energy and money ;)

Dental floss

Google.

You can make a circle with your dental floss instead of rolling it up on a finger. You will save making your fingers hurt and it is also more comfortable. There was no need of hurting your hand!

Plastic cups

Google.

You can use the lid of the plastic cups as coasters ...It exactly fits the bottom. Somebody obviously thought it like this and we never got it. C'mon people! I am starting to think we are getting everything late!

Juice little box

Google.

This little things are not for decorations. You just need to pull them to turn them into little cute handles for little kids. They will drinks their juice happier than they used to!

Strawberries

Google.

Push a straw and voilà! The green part will pop off. This is the best way of doing it. If you cut it with a knife you will waste a lot of strawberry with no sense at all. Why do you think they are called STRAWberries? LOL. That was a bad joke.

Flat iron

Google.

You don't need another iron for curling your hair. If you already own a flat iron just use a pencil and, like the girl in the picture, put your hair around it and use your flat iron! Perfect results!

Housemade speaker

Google.

If you want your music louder, just put your phone inside a glass cup! It is not the same as a speaker but it definitely helps making it a lot louder than listening just with the phone speakers.

Travelling

Google.

This is one of the most boring parts of traveling. Packing your clothes inside your luggage. Well, I have the best solution for saving space and the folding part too. Just roll your clothes up. It is a quicker and more efficient way. It also helps your clothes staying straight without any wrinkles.

Darth Vader, initially known by his birth name Anakin Skywalker, is a fictional character who became known by the famous Star Wars franchise, becoming one of the most important and favorite characters of all people.

He is one of the most iconic and important villains of all times, making him an icon of pop culture that became a star in television series, video games, novels and comics. These funny pictures show us what would happen to Darth Vader if he lost his job as a villain in the Star Wars franchise. It’s time to try new jobs.

Anakin Skywalker

Michaël Massart

Although we all know him by his name Darth Vader, he was initially called Anakin Skywalker. He is one of the most important characters of the fiction franchise Star Wars, taking on the role of antagonist and being the main character of the action of the plot.

Darth Vader

Michaël Massart

His first appearance was in Star Wars Episode IV: A new hope, becoming one of the most beloved and hated by the public, and today is one of the villains with more followers around the world, leading him to be the protagonist of several video games and television series.

Michaël Massart

Michaël Massart

Darth Vader managed to get the attention of Michaël Massart, a Belgian photographer who decided to make a series of photos showing this villain doing ordinary jobs, including washing dishes or driving around the city. The project was called "The Empire Against the Crisis," showing what would happen if the financial crisis destroyed the Galactic Empire, leaving Darth without a job.

Laser epilator

Michaël Massart

If we thought that Darth Vader could only use his Lightsaber to fight, this photograph shows us that it is not like that. Laser hair removal became very fashionable in recent years due to its efficiency and speed, and Vader decided to take advantage of this opportunity to continue using it and earn some money.

Bathroom manager

Michaël Massart

This work is a little simpler but it can get very boring. Imagine how exciting it would be to go to the bathroom and find Darth Vader right at the entrance to give you your turn to use the toilet, although it seems to be the entrance to another galaxy.

The dishwasher and his assistant

Michaël Massart

When it comes to work, although we do not like it, we must start from the bottom. Darth Vader does not seem to be so excited about this job but at least he has a faithful assistant next to him. We hope we get a promotion soon.

A very cool delivery boy

Michaël Massart

The advantage of being a delivery boy is that you will spend a lot of time visiting different places and meeting new people. If they like you, they will give you good tips. Darth Vader at least has a large fan club that will be excited to see him.

A bodyguard that will use his strength

Michaël Massart

The swimming class can seem overwhelming to many people who can not swim, but if you have a good lifeguard there is nothing to fear, and Darth Vader will use all his strength to get everything out that is drowning. Dive time!

A very Vader concert

Michaël Massart

Just looking at the image we can imagine what song are this group of musicians playing. The public is enjoying them so much that they have decided to make donations.

Good citizens

Michaël Massart

All people have the ability to change and become a better version of themselves, even if they are one of the greatest villains in the entire galaxy. Darth Vader amazes us all by becoming a good citizen and helping people crossing the streets.

A very powerful coach

Michaël Massart

Being a coach of a team requires many skills and of course great leadership, which is why Darth Vader wanted to test himself and direct and train this team of Basketball. Hopefully he is not using his strength to score.

A car wash from another planet

Michaël Massart

Once you pass to the dark side there is no going back, and this black car will be so bright that its owner will be very happy to join them and become a frequent customer.

Accounting, someone give me strength

Michaël Massart

We would never have imagined Darth Vader as an accountant, and apparently he did not either. Sitting in an office for hours seems not to be something that excites him. Numbers and more numbers!

A driver that will take you to the dark side

Michaël Massart

Bus trips are not as boring as they seem since you will always come across and meet new people. Imagine getting on a bus and seeing Darth Vader as the driver, just hope not to take everyone to the dark side.

Dj Vader

Michaël Massart

We can already hear the Imperial March being mixed with the current fashionable sounds. No doubt DJ Vader would play a lot in the music industry creating a large group of followers almost immediately. Soon you will be attending several music festivals!

Seller

Michaël Massart

Selling unique and original items is a very good way to earn a lot of money, but only if you have such things. Darth Vader surely has many things to sell and will make a fortune with them.

Influencer

Michaël Massart

Becoming an influencer in social networks has become very fashionable in recent years, several people earning many followers start making money and being sponsored by several brands. A selfie for networks!

Foodie

Michaël Massart

Another way of using social networks and new virtual platforms of trends, and making money while enjoying food is to become a foodie and create your own blog, thus obtaining a large number of followers and sponsors that invite you to try several new restaurants or dishes.

Glass cleaner

Michaël Massart

This can be a good job to start and Darth uses his lightsaber to make sure everything remains intact with no traces of water in the glass. Everything is better when you do it as a team!

A musical band

Michaël Massart

Darth Vader decided to take advantage of his musical skills to form a band and be able to play in various restaurants and events. A very funny way to earn money and to meet new people.

The guy who is traveling the world with the “Mom I’m fine” sign

By: sofia - 5 August 2016, 11:57

Traveling is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Meeting new people and cultures gives you a broad perspective. Thinking about traveling alone might be a bit scary, especially for our moms, who think of all the negative things that could happen, but as long as we let them know that we are doing fine, they can stop worrying about us.

Jonathan Kubben Quiñonez is a 27-year-old guy from Brussels, who is traveling the world with a “Mom I’m fine” sign. His Instagram account @momimfine has become very popular with over 164,000 followers. Don’t you think he is the most thoughtful son out there?

Brazil

Jonathan Quiñonez’s Instagram bio says: “Whatever your age if you have a Latin mom and a passion for adventure, you will have to find a way to tell her that you are fine. This is my way”. Taking pictures with a “Mom I’m fine” sign everywhere you go is the coolest way of checking in with your mom. If you are thinking about traveling, we’ll share with you some really useful travel tips

Tomorrowland

Jonathan surely knows how to have fun; he went to the Tomorrowland music festival held in Belgium. Here’s tip number one: Before you go on a trip it is very important for you to scan passport pages, credit cards, your driver’s license and personal ID in case your bags are lost or stolen.

Skydiving

Before packing for your new destination, you should check the weather forecast in order to know what sort of clothes you need. You should also think about all the activities you want to do during your trip, just like skydiving in Playa del Carmen, Mexico!

Peru

In this picture, Jonathan went to explore the breathtaking Peruvian countryside. If you are traveling abroad for a long period of time, this tip is extremely important! You should visit your doctor and ask him if you need any travel vaccines. You should also have a medical check-up to make sure you are healthy.

Think about all the things you’d like to do in your trip and organize your itinerary to take advantage of the time you’ve got, considering your budget and the places you want to visit. In Jonathan’s case, he chose Latin American countries, which are great budget travel destinations.

Machu Picchu

When you are traveling, you need to take all your belongings and the important things you need, so you should know the baggage restrictions required by the airline. There are some items that are prohibited on airplanes so you should also take that into consideration. Visiting Machu Picchu, the historic Inca city is a must for those who love traveling to historic places!

Cartagena, Colombia

Whether you’re staying at a hotel or hostel you should book ahead of time. If you choose a hostel there are many chances that you might meet new people, but you need to be forthcoming, don’t be afraid to say “hi, where are you from?” to a complete stranger. Here’s another beautiful picture of Cartagena Colombia.

If you are traveling to a whole different country then you should read about the culture, or get a travel guide in order to know about the region’s beliefs and trends. These travel guides also have very useful maps with different locations and they show you the best possible ways to get there. Jonathan probably did his own research on the countries he was about to visit.

Caribbean Sea

Find out which currency is used in your destination and the exchange rate. Having a credit card might be a good idea because they are safer to carry than cash, but you need to be aware that there is a fee for the exchange transaction. There are many beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea where you can do scuba diving, just like Jonathan did.

Volcano in Costa Rica

Purchasing a factory unlocked phone might be a little more expensive but due to the fact that no changes are made to the hardware and software, these phones can be used with any cell phone provider. In Jonathan’s case, he needs a cellphone to upload all these Instagram pictures.

San Andres, Colombia

Before you travel you need to make sure your travel documents are in order. If you need a visa, make sure to apply early because depending on the country, the process can be complicated. Jonathan made the right choice visiting Colombia, which is a beautiful and diverse country with many attractions.

Cuba

If you are going to travel by yourself, then you need to have an open mind and be willing to talk to strangers in order to make friends. If you are lucky, you can meet other people who are also traveling by themselves and you can go sightseeing together. Visiting Cuba is like traveling back in time; the colorful streets of cities like La Habana and Trinidad are definitely worth seeing.

Antioquia, Colombia

Keeping a travel journal is a great way for you to enhance your memories and find inspiration. If you are going on a long trip, this is a great way to remember every detail about your journey in order to share the story with your family and friends when you get back. In Jonathan’s case, he’s got all these pictures to help him remember all the places he’s been to.

Rio de Janeiro

If you are traveling alone, you have to learn how to be patient with yourself if something goes wrong, you need to know your strengths and accept the fact that not everything will go as planned, but it is important to have faith and know that everything will be alright.

Bocas del Toro, Panama

It is extremely important for you to travel with a budget; According to lonelyplanet.com, you need to start your budget with the biggest expenses first, then you can work out a daily cost base on room rates and meal costs and you should also budget for activities, museum entry fees or souvenirs.

Foursquare is a location-based social networking website for mobile devices, it can be very useful if you are at a café or restaurant and don’t know the Wi-Fi password. Other users have probably checked-in there so the password is probably available in the comments.

If you have to wait for hours in the airport, then make sure to bring books and magazines to keep yourself entertained; you can also listen to your favorite music or walk around and see the different shops at the airport. Panama is a great country to visit; it is home to an abundance of tropical plants and animals.

Costa Rica

If you want to feel safer when you travel, then you need to get a travel insurance. There are many types of travel insurances; they can cover medical expenses, cancellations, loss or delays. If you are looking for a cheap option, then you should consider Allianz Global Assistance. In this picture Jonathan is in Costa Rica, a beautiful Central American country with many natural reserves.

This is how Tennis Fashion has evolved throughout the years

By: daniela - 23 October 2017, 12:16

Compartir en Facebook

Perhaps when you think about Tennis, the last thing that comes to your mind is tennis attire… you know, those polo shirts, or skirts and shorts men and women wears. However, if you’re a fashion forward person you may think that tennis clothes are cool. Can you imagine how different they were from the little skirt and v neck t shirt athletes wear now? Even tennis rackets changed a lot!

Here is a look of how much tennis outfits have changed throughout the years… they’ve changed a lot!

1900's

Pinterest

Look at this long skirt and that shirt! I don't get how girls could be comfortable with those on. I mean, tennis is an exhausting sport I can't imagine how tiring could be playing it with that amount of cloth on you.

Pinterest

This men look too formal to be playing tennis. Don't you think? It looks more like a golf player outfit right? I mean the shirt, those dressing pants....

1920's

Pinterest

Well, this skirt is much more loose than the other one as well as the shirt. However, it still looks like other sport! I definitely can't imagine wearing something like this and jumping all over the tennis court without short tights.

Pinterest

Well this outfit's pretty cool for me. I mean it looks much more conformable than the girl's. However, the racket seems to be made out of wood or something heavy which makes hitting the ball much more difficult.

1930's

Pinterest

Skirts are a little shorter as well as shirt's sleeves. We are approaching to today's outfit little by little. This one looks much more comfortable. However, it is far away from that cute little skirt we have in our heads right?

Pinterest

This one looks more stylish than a sport's outfit. I mean, c'mon what does that high waist pant mean? I don't know if maybe is the guys face or his whole look that makes me doubt if it's a tennis outfit or what?

1940's

Pinterest

I love this one! The perfect mix between style, sport and tidiness. Short hair, high waisted shorts and that t shirt. Simply beautiful. with no doubts, a cool vintage outfit girls would wear nowadays!

Pinterest

In men, totally different thing. I definitely think vests are not a sports item at all. I mean it looks too tight to me. Just too uncomfortable. Perhaps if it's a cotton vest can help. However, I wouldn't choose it at all.

1950's

Pinterest

It's surprising the different neck cuts we can see right here. It looks like all of them are from different sports, right? However, they definitely look as tidiest they can be...

Pinterest

They definitely look comfortable which for me, is one the most important things when deciding what to wear for playing a sport. The v neck sweater and the short pants seem to be the best way of tackling the sport.

1960's

Pinterest

Oh c'mon! Look at how sleek this group of ladies look... I definitely want to dress up like this girls. Just look at them, they couldn't be cooler if they tried. Those high socks combined with the table skirt look gorgeous.

Pinterest

This one as well looks much more comfortable than the older outfits. I mean short pants and that stylish but appropriate v neck sweater looks perfectly right to me.

1970's

Really similar to today's tennis look. Red, black and white striped t shirt with short skirt and short socks. The tennis racket doesn't look heavy at all which I personally highly recommend.

1980's

Google

What is this? OMG. This is simply wrong. Apart from the headband which is something I definitely like, all the outfit appears to be a whole mess. I can't finish figuring out if it's the colors or just the whole thing together that bothers me that much.

Pinterest

Anne White, the American tennis player wearing a white straight outfit with some color in her waist. Hello Annie! Nice outfit right? She looks as if he has just won..ok, we give you one more point for that!

1990's

Pinterest

Weirdly I don't like that t shirt at all. I think it's too loose or maybe it's not the right one for tennis right? That v neck is too long for her. Not to talk about those shorts, definitely not right...

Pinterest

Coolest ever. Violet and white mix of colors just wonderful. That headband's perfect, comfy and mixes perfectly with all the outfit. Those weird stripes in the t shirt are really cool and don't seem to be bothering at all.

2000's

The wonderful Maria Sharapova. One of the most known tennis players in the whole world. She is wearing Swarovski crystals OMG I definitely do not think that was necessary. However, I won't lie they look pretty in her :)

Nowadays

Pinterest

Nowadays, tennis players are changing their way of dressing up when it comes to this beautiful sport. They are adding more color and texture to their whole look. I feel like vibrant clothes attracts better energy so they are absolutely taking the right path :)
